Wouldn't it be safer to go for 1500 RMS since it's gonna be 2 subs? Or 2000 since they peek at 1000? or does that not matter?
Also, they're dual coil. Not too sure if that makes a difference in what I shouldget

the model number you list means they are Dual 2 ohm so both of them wired in series will get you 2 ohm final impedance, if you wire them parallel, your going to get 0.5 ohm impedance. and no they are only rated for 100-500 rms each and they are rated quite accurately, anymore than that, your going to seriously have to lower the gain knob. If money's no issue, just get 1000 rms constant power JL or rockford amp and call it a day. Or get a sundown SAZ1200 since that amp can handle 0.5 ohm loads but your going to need the big 3 upgrade if your going for this option.

Remember, dont remove any factory wiring, your just adding bigger wire on top of everything. This beefs up your charging system and keeps your voltages high. With low voltages in the low 12s or under your asking for blown equipment in the future. Be sure to invest in a digital multi-meter

if you like music, add new speakers and a 4 channel amp to the list. if you just want bass to overpower the music and destroy the rear deck speakers then you are on the right track.

with the head unit you will need a wiring harness and mounting kit. Metraonline.com will let you see what fits your car.

you will need tools to do the work (drills, socket set, DMM, etc.).

the amp install kit will not have enough wire to do the big 3 also. a second amp install kit can help with that since you want to fuse the alt to batt + wire anyway. some install kits include speaker wire and RCA's. you'll need at least one set of RCA's from head unit to amp so get a good kit. Rockford Fosgate makes some nice kits. You get what you pay for.
